Where do we go from here?
Over 2022, the visible signs of the worsening climate crisis have become more extreme. Widespread flooding in different regions is directly related to climate change. At the same time, the Ukraine war has accelerated an energy crisis that was already in the making. As energy prices have skyrocketed across Europe and in other regions, governments are starting to think seriously about investing even more in clean energy solutions.
A new multi-agency report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) argues that climate change is not only a threat to the planet, but if serious action is not taken, it will threaten global energy security. The report recommends doubling the supply of electricity from clean energy sources within the next decade to limit the increase in global temperature. Electricity and heat are the primary single source of greenhouse gas, accounting for over 30% of emissions.
There is still time to implement cleaner energy solutions to help mitigate the climate crisis. For instance, according to the Climate Group, lighting is responsible for 5% of global CO2 emissions. Replacing traditional lighting with LED can result in huge energy savings, 50-70%. A 2017 study argued that moving to LEDs helped cut CO2 gas emissions by half a billion tons that year - the same as if more than 160 coal-fired power plants were taken offline.
Switching to a diversified energy strategy is the only way to manage both the climate crisis, the economic fall-out of disruptions in traditional energy supplies, and soaring prices. Many companies are providing solar and renewable energy solutions and products to help us on this journey, and some of these include:
